"Boy, oh boy. What a day." Duo yawned. "I had fun today. We should do this more often."
It was already well into the night. Dorothy, Relena, Sally and Wufei had already left for their apartments. Quatre was already tucked into bed while Duo, Heero and Trowa stayed up just a little longer.
"So do we sleep out here?" Heero asked, nodding at the couch.
"No. You two can sleep in my room. And I mean sleep." Trowa said, arching an eyebrow at the two.
"All right, all right. No hanky-panky. Dang…" Duo said.
"What about you? Where're you gonna sleep?" Heero asked.
"Oh, um…well…" Trowa looked down. "I've been sleeping in Quatre's room for the past two weeks now so that's where I'll be sleeping…"
"Oooo, Trowa, you sly dog you!" Duo grinned. "Hanky-panky going on tonight!"
"Duo, shut it. It's not like that." Trowa began to blush slightly.
"Sure it ain't…"
"It's not. Ever since Dorothy called it off with me I've been sleeping in his room for comfort. And ever since his birthday, I've been there to comfort him in return."
"Uh-huh." Duo winked. "Don't worry Tro-man. You're secret is safe with me."
"Duo, don't be dumb. Just go to bed now." Heero said giving the braided boy a little shove.
"Fine, fine."
After Duo closed the door, Heero looked back at Trowa. "So I can guess that you haven't told him yet, right?"
"No…I haven't told him…I just, I don't think that the time is right, you know? That whole Taylor Quinn thing…it's still there. I just don't think he needs to be in a relationship so soon after it."
Heero nodded in understanding. "Don't worry about it, Trowa. Things'll work out in the end."
"I hope so."
"I know so." Heero yawned. "Well, I'm off. Night."
"Night." Trowa watched Heero disappear into his room before turning off the lights in the hall and heading off into Quatre's room. The blonde boy was curled on one side, his back to the door. Trowa smiled slightly, remembering the two kisses from the game. Quietly, he climbed into the bed, trying not to wake the other boy. As soon as he was situated, Quatre unconsciously rolled over and used Trowa's chest as a pillow while Trowa wrapped his arms around Quatre's small form.
"…Night, Trowa…" Quatre murmured.
Trowa smiled again. "Good night, Quatre."

The next morning, Trowa awoke to the sight of a missing blonde boy. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before sitting up and looking around the room. Then the sound of chatter came to him. Slowly, Trowa climbed out of bed and out of the room to see Quatre and Heero sitting at the dining table with coffee mugs in their hands.
"Morning Trowa." Quatre smiled. "We didn't wake you, did we?"
"No." Trowa yawned. "What time is it?"
"Nine-thirty." Heero answered.
"Oh. Where's Duo?"
"He's still asleep. He sleeps like a rock. Nothing can get him up until he's good and ready to." Heero shook his head.
"We're going sight-seeing today." Quatre said. "We're gonna meet up with the others later today."
"Okay."
Just as Trowa turned to go to the bathroom, a loud thump came from his room. The brunette hurried to the door and threw it open with Quatre and Heero right behind him. The sight before them made Quatre giggle.
Duo was sprawled out on the floor from falling off the bed. His mouth was wide open with a little drool coming out and his hair, undone from its braid, was spread out. All the while, he was still in a deep sleep.
Heero shook his head. "Sleeps like a rock."
Author's Notes/Disclaimer: Blah blah blah...I don't own the GW characters and if you didn't know that by now, I can assume that you don't even read this part of the chapter. Not that it matters, but it'd be nice if you could cause who knows, I might have something important to say.
Just a short chapter for now to lead up to what's coming next...wonder what it could be... And on another note...Happy Holidays.
